ACTIVITIES FLASHCARDS

a. Charades: Have a student come to the front of the class and

show a flashcard or whisper a word to that student. The student
then acts out that word to the rest of the class and the first student
to guess what it is can be the next player. This works very well with
action verbs.

b. Pictionary: Good for reviewing vocab. Pick a student and show

him/her a flashcard picture or whisper a word into his/her
ear. The student draws the picture on the board and the
first student in the class to guess the picture gets to draw the next
picture.

c. Memory Tester: Place a selection of flash cards on the floor in a

circle. Students have one minute to memorise the cards. In groups,
they have two minutes to write as many of the names as they can
remember.

d. Jump On It: Spread out flashcards on the floor and have Ss

stand at one end of the room. Shout out a card and the Ss have to
find the card and jump on it. The first S to do this wins a point.
